Great savings if you want all the models. Not worth it if your performance concerned and don't plan on using Land Raider + Terminators.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704219/8938367.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704219/8938367.page GMT Strike Force Ultima Opinion?
From the thread over in N&R:

The new strike force Ultima is really a good deal:

Terminator squad: $50 USD
Stern guard: $50 USD
Storm Hawk: $56 USD
Tactical Squad: $40 USD
Land Raider: $75 USD
Razorback: $41 USD
Drop pod: $41 USD
Terminator Captain: $25 USD
Total: $376 USD not including transfers.

However, you can get this box for $250 USD


Some of the contents are solid, core stuff that can be utilized by most lists. Pod/Razor, sternguard, tacs.

The Stormhawk has the problem of being a new kit, not found in most formations. So unless you are running a CAD, has issues. That said, it’s rules seem solid for what it is.

I’m a little miffed about the terminator captain, squad, and LR. You have 6 TDA bodies, and a tank that hold 5. If they had been an TDA assault squad in a LRR/C, it would have been a much better box. Or just owned the fact that the terminators and captain were going to DS, and use the space in the box to get us something more useful then a LR.

That side of the box is on the weak side because of it. They included some sub-par units, and not even the best versions of them. For a starting player in a friendly meta, this is not a huge deal. They happen to be very iconic units. But once people start making more competitive lists, they are going to warm the shelf.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704219/8938379.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704219/8938379.page GMT Strike Force Ultima Opinion?

You’d have to do a bit of modding/counts as to pull it off.

And head to FW for rules for some of that.

Drop Pod? I’ve seen some mods to build it as a dreadclaw.
Stormhawk? Not sure what an equivalent chaos flyer is. It’s no heldrake.
Terminators? The storm/combi bolter is one thing, but the all powerfists is another. While I think you can field them that way, nobody wants to.
Razor is just spare bits on a rhino (which you can use)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704219/8940034.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704219/8940034.page GMT Strike Force Ultima Opinion?

Yeah I was thinking you'd have to use a bunch of extra bits and convert. Drop pod is probably gonna be scenery for CSM to be honest, for the Stormhawk I was thinking of one of the forge world flyers, terminators can be fixed easily with bits, rhino is rhino]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704219/8940251.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704219/8940251.page GMT
